I've been eating a lot of burgers lately, but Pickering seems to have a lack of Smash Burgers. These have been in New York City for so long, that you could no longer call them trendy, but here in the suburbs, the smash burger is becoming a thing, so to speak. I've been itching to try one, and guess what? The Works Pickering, which is just a short drive from my house, has changed its menu, and the new menu offers smash burgers, complete with a potato bun, which is in keeping with the New York style!! I just had to jump on board and order from there. I had to get beyond the idea that I would pay a minimum of $20 for something that I can make very well at home for a fraction of the price. (See previous reviews). However, I don't offer a diversity of toppings, bun styles, meat vs. veggie or smash burgers at home, nor do I feel like hauling the BBQ out of the garage, so I tell myself that these extra options justify the price. We ordered for delivery, and our order arrived earlier than expected. Bravo! My husband ordered a Man Cave (not a smashed burger), and my daughter and I ordered O.G. Smash Burgers. The order was perfect, complete with all of the modifications and extras that we asked for. I am happy to report that The Works still makes an excellent burger! The smash burger style is noted for the ratio of crust to unbrowned interior meat, and indeed you do get some additional browned flavour, albeit sacrificing juiciness. My husband's thick style burger was juicier than the smashed option, but I'd say that the two smashed patties in the O.G. smash burger equaled the meat in my husband's more traditional thick burger. I think that, at the end of the day, i prefer a juicier burger with a good crust to the drier, but very well browned, smash burger. The onion rings here are excellent: super crispy, and the onion is soft enough that you can bite it without pulling it out of the ring coating in the process of eating it. The fries are very tasty too, even after steaming and softening in a take out container. I've ordered from here multiple times, and can attest that The Works delivers consistent taste and quality. While my wallet may be lighter and my bank account leaner, I cannot say the same for myself after scarfing down the O.G. smash burger and a half order of onion rings. I'll be back when I next feel that I'm ready for some slightly pricey pampering. read more

We use to love coming here when we came to Pickering and it's really gone down in quality. We came a few weeks ago and learned that ownership changed. The burgers always took a long time to come out, but this time, we actually had to ask if they forgot about us. It was over half an hour of waiting before we were told they're working on the order, and there was only maybe 4 other tables. The burgers arrived and they were so disappointing. Nothing like the ones I remember when I placed my first review. The patties were really dry and hard to enjoy, and the fried onions sprinkled into the burger were rock hard. We really kindly let the staff know and she was pretty honest that the quality was just not going to be better if we tried again. I appreciate the honesty. At least the staff all seem to know. Super sad to see this place decline so steeply. Would honestly not be back ever. The price is ridiculously high for a giant wait time and a really terrible burger. read more

This place is falling apart. It's so obvious for a place that used to receive rave reviews now every week getting multiple 1 star reviews. Why is the works franchise allowing this to happen to their name. Multiple ppl have reported bad burgers getting ill, and undercooked food. They are not restocking food or drinks. Meat tastes like it's gone bad. Food takes an hour to come out even when u are one of the only customers. read more

Their cheese stuff burgers are a craving sometimes! Just mouth watering and juicy! The service has always been pretty fast when I've gone. A cute little cozy place! read more

The Works - Mushroom melt - subbed with stuffed cheese burger + added bacon - Burgers Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

Burger and onion rings were amazing! The price is steep but the food was on point! Exceeded my expectations and will be back

It's the first time since the pandemic that i have been able to get over to the works for a burger. Just wanted to say 10/10 it's even better than I remember and can't wait to go again! The Pickering staff was quick and very friendly! Wanted to just highlight the good and hard work of the girl working outfront giving people/Delivery orders to everyone. Quick and efficient. I Can not wait until I'm in the area again! Also I've been dying to find out what pepper or where the hotter than hell sauce is from?! It's the best ever! (Visited Friday evening) read more

3.5/5 Delicious burgers, but there were some details that were lacking. My wife is vegan and ordered a burger with no cheese and a veggie patty. Her burger came with bacon it that wasn't supposed to there. Minus 1 star for inaccuracy, +1 star for free extra bacon for me :) I got the hangover burger which is typical burger with breakfast items on (eggs, bacon, hashbrowns). The eggs were weird. There was no yolk, and had a goat cheese type texture almost. The rest of the ingredients were great. This burgers comes on an everything bagel, which I think did a great job of holding up to the sheer weight of the burger. Service was slow, but they seemed understaffed with 1 waitress handling all 8 tables, seating guests, and take out orders. These burgers are also quite pricy, starting anywhere from 15 to 19 dollars, but it comes with a side and you will be full in the end. Overall, I will return some time soon to try some other burgers. read more

The Works - Hangover burger and poutine - Burgers Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

Started out with the 'Wrecking Balls' appetizer, Bacon-wrapped cheddar tater tots served with bacon and roasted garlic aioli. Very good, lots of calories... LOL. I then ordered the Kamikaze burger and added a fried egg, hash brown, onion ring, kraft dinner, fried onions, bacon and more. It was huge and awesome! 8 oz. burger. Great selection of burger options, buns, proteins, etc. Also a number of sides to choose from. I had the fresh cut fries which were excellent, my wife had the spicy die-cut chips, also very good. If I had to fix anything, the burger was slightly overdone, so next time I'll ask them to cook it to medium. Overall a great experience. Nice atmosphere, friendly customer service, great burger! read more

If you're ever shopping at Pickering Town Centre, The Works is the perfect place to go for lunch or dinner plans! They have lunch specials on drinks that range around $5, and a few burger meals that are about $12 until 3pm. I got the "Gettin' Piggier With It" burger, with a side of Spicy Die-Cut Chips & "W" sauce. I am exclaiming this with all that is within me, If you are coming to this location GET THIS as a SIDE! The spicy die-cut chips are like soft, potato-filled, kettle-cooked chip, and with the "W" sauce!? I could eat that combination forever! The burger itself was pretty good, however, it was very meaty with having a patty & bacon (I don't always enjoy bacon, especially with other meats). On the bright side, the onions were crisped to perfection; and if you like pickles, onions, and mayo, I recommend having it all in there! My partner ordered the "Son of a Beech" burger with fries - I don't remember the sauce, but it doesn't matter because the "W" sauce is all you need ‍. Anyways, the sun-dried tomatoes was a nice touch for the texture of the burger, and the patty was cooked to perfection. The feta cheese was a refreshing change, instead of the typical cheddar or swiss cheese in a burger. The staff was great as well! Our server was very friendly and helped us understand the menu since it was our first time there. read more

My visits here were quite some time ago, so not sure if my opinion would have merit now. Visited with two others and we all enjoyed the food although we all felt it was overpriced. No longer living in Pickering so unlikely to return. read more

It was my first time here at this location. Our servers name is Kyle and he was extremely nice and efficient. He came with waters for the table and gave us recommendations for the menu as soon as we sat down. We ordered the nutella milkshake, however when it came, it did not taste like it should. After mentioning it to Kyle, he apologized and quickly offered a remake. He came with a small sample to ensure it was what we were looking for. He was very considerate and was able to act quickly for the satisfaction of his customers. I really appreciate his customer service. Shortly after, our food came and it was delicious! Kyle came by a few times to ensure everything tasted right. The Di-cut chips tasted delicious and was crispy as i have requested. Would definitely visit this location again! Thank you Kyle! :) read more

Wanted to try the wagyu burger and the spicy die cut chips. Burger was a bit dry and overpriced for the taste. It looked nice though and good. Chips got stale real fast. I would probably give this place one more shot before writing it off but it was "ok"....recommending to eat the food as soon as you can when you get it. read more

The Works - a hamburger and fries - Burgers Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

I've heard very good reviews about this restaurant from my friends. My boyfriend, sister and I decided to give it a try. Their special lunch menus included 6 burgers, which included a soft drink of your choice, and regular side dishes (fries, coleslaw, etc.). I always ordered the kamikaze burger since I like spicy food, and it was great. I personally liked the spicy sauce that came on the side. We also ordered the tower of rings. When it came, it was a lot smaller that I expected. It had about ~12-15 onion rings stacked up. It just tasted like regular onion rings, so nothing special about it. What I was most impressed about was their poutine. I always get their longhorn poutine, which is now my new favourite. The portion is huge, so it's great appetizer to share with other people. It was really good because they completely cover each layer of fries with the identified topping listed on the menu. The customer service is also very good. The server would immediately attend to your order, and very well mannered. They would spark some small conversation, which is always nice. My boyfriend and I met the owner one time, and he gave us coupons for free tower of rings if we purchase any meal (included the lunch special) when we left. Overall, my experience was great. read more

Being an avid fan of a good burger, I had heard much about this place and it's gourmet burger. So on a Thanksgiving Monday we decided to try it out. Having had a huge Thanksgiving meal the previous day, I probably could have done without , nevertheless.. First impressions, the place is very trendy, love the decor. It was very quiet hardly any customers, but keep in my mind it was Thanksgiving. The server was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. Since this was our first time he took his time to explain the menu as it can be overwhelming at first. We settled on two burgers, one was the Maple burger (just lovely) and the other was Turkey burger. We also got a side our poutine, healthy right! The food did take longer than expected given that there was only couple besides us in the whole place, however the burger was great. The maple on the bacon was divine, the turkey burger was good but kinda dry. The price tag is a bit hefty for two burgers, poutine ($40) but I knew that going in. I would suggest Baldwin Burger in Brooklin over this place read more

Great spot! Lots of parking and lots of seating for groups of all sizes. The menu is daunting! I narrowed it down to a few choices and asked my server for advice. The burgers are HUGE! I don't usually advocate for getting salad, but dang...you'd definitely waste your fries! They also offer craft beer! Will be back! read more

So we are in Covid now, so I wanted to update my experience for having gotten this delivered by uber eats. It is very obvious that they don't think about things when it comes to delivery. For instance we got their dipping sauce which is cool they provide with each meal. But my partner got fries and I got cukes and celery. Why would you put BOTH the dips with the fries????? Do you not realize you are giving people warm ranch sauce? Do you not realize that's kinda gross?? I thought the bunless burger would be lettuce wrapped, but instead its just a pile. The food was still pretty good, I just don't know if I can give them more than a 3. read more

I'm so glad there is a location in the east end. I really enjoy this burger place. I came once before and really enjoyed it. Ordered the Great Canadian (a specialty limited offering at the time) with Poutini Martini, which was basically poutine with onion rings. The burger was fab, albeit huge! I could only eat half. The poutine was...ok. I didn't like the onion rings. They were too sweet for my liking so I had to pick them out. Service tho, was great and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I knew I'd be back. Today was the day I returned, this time for lunch. I was pleased to see they have a lunch special. A 4oz burger, with side of fries and pop for $10.97. I got the Hamburger Mary, with egg, cheddar, bacon and mayo. I also upgraded my fries to the poutine again. The burger was excellent and the right size for me. The poutine however---wasn't good. The gravy was too thick and not hot enough to melt the cheese curds and it was way too salty. I won't be ordering the poutine again. It just isn't good. Other than that, service was great and we've made plans to come back and try a different burger. I'll just be opting for a different side next time. read more

The Works - Burgers Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

(2.5 stars) I've been to The Works in Waterloo, Ontario many times before with all my friends and I've always had a great time. I decided to try the Pickering location with my boyfriend since I enjoyed the Waterloo one so much. It was a Saturday night and it wasn't too packed but they only had one server. We stood at the door for awhile before we were seated... along with 3 other groups of customers that came after us. Finally after being seated we ordered both our drinks and dinner. My boyfriend started off with a beer and I ordered a strawberry banana milkshake (which was absolutely delicious). His dinner order was the Notorious P.I.G. While I got their Ho Hum #34. Food took so long to come! We thought the drinks took long but then when my dinner finally came out, my milkshake was almost all done because I was getting so hungry waiting. Food was tasty but the wait time paired with the $$ was why I gave this place a 2.5 stars. Overall, it's pretty steep for what you get, which is essentially a burger. read more

Favourite burger place of all time. I HIGHLY recommend the onion rings there - they're the best I've ever had. You can get the tower to share, or sub your fries with your burger. Note: not a lot of people seem to know this, but your fries are actually unlimited, don't be shy asking for a refill. For a big meat lover, I recommend the "Six Degrees of K'vin Bacon" or "Gettin Piggy With It". Another personal favourite is "The Hangover". They have so many fun combinations and creative names, it's great! There should be something for everyone, or they can make a burger from scratch with lots of options. Also recommend the milkshakes, they are DELICIOUS! really makes the whole meal! It is going to be a little pricier, but so worth it for a gourmet burger. Tastes fresh, and I've never had a bad experience, especially not at this location. There's a young man that works there, that I've seen a few times, who is so friendly! Wish I knew his name so I could give him a shout out, but I keep coming back to this location, driving from Scarborough! read more

We drove from North York to come have a burger we had never been we got here at 8:45 and they have a paper posted on their door Tonight we are closeting early to have a staff meeting. On their website closing states 10pm open sign says 10pm We will never come back here thanks for the horrible taste in our mouth!!! read more

I came here yesterday for their birthday to get one of their signature burgers for only $5.15! It was the busiest I had ever seen it, but we managed to snag the last table upon arrival. Who could resist their burgers at this price? I decided I would finally try the Elk on a Beech burger since it is the most expensive option on the menu. It was pretty good, but I did not find it was exceptionally better than some of their other creations I have tried. I do love it's uniqueness because where else do you find an Elk burger? Based on the price though I wouldn't get it again. I still can't get over how good their onion rings are, my favourite! Haven't found any that are better yet. Don't forget to join their WIP loyalty program because it is so worth it! They give you $15 on your birthday if you use the card at least once before it occurs and $10 for every 150 points. I know a lot of people say it's pricey and it is, but at least this program helps to recover some of the costs. For example, I managed to get 150 points on my card and then my birthday passed so I had $25 available to spend. I used my card to pay for my meal (which was already discounted thanks to their birthday special) that was less than $10 with tip so essentially I dined for free. Also fill out their online survey with your receipt to receive $5 off on your next visit when you spend $20 or more. See tons of ways to save some money and enjoy a great burger! I also want to mention that the service we received from Nick was excellent. Really cool guy and a great server! Also as another review mentioned, if you sit by the garage door, it is pretty cold! I hope they can fix this problem for next winter. On the other hand I look forward to enjoying this feature in the summer! read more

This isn't a fast food burger joint but more of gourmet burger restaurant like the name suggests. There are many ways to customize your burger. For the bread you can select white or brown bread. For the meat you can get the standard beef burger or select from a variety of different meats like Elk. You can also get the meat cooked the way you like just as you would for a steak. Finally there are different veggie toppings to choose from. Ordered the Gettin' Piggy With It $15.73 + $2.32 to upgrade to a side poutine. Its a good burger that tasted great. Beef was juicy and thick and everything tasted fresh. It just didn't blow me away like some other burgers I have had. The poutine was also very good. Nice amount of cheese curds and gravy. Price is on the high side for just a burger. Service was excellent. read more

I'll start with the good part. The food was excellent and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately there wasn't enough staff to handle a Saturday evening crowd. I'm assuming the kitchen had the same lack of staff problem. After being seated and placing our order, the meal took 38 minutes to arrive. Once we had finished, it took another 16 minutes to get our servers attention to pay the bill. The bill is another thing, it's little expensive for a hamburger and fries. read more

Been here twice for food and once for just a milkshake. Really cool looking place with so many different options for a burger - and ONLY a burger. Haha. Their milkshakes are amazing but really filling. A little on the pricey side for a burger and fries though, once in a while is ok. For reference: two burgers w fries and two small milkshakes + a tip it was about $52. Great place for a date! read more

The tragically maple with a substituted home-style wagyu beef patty is probably one of the best burgers that I have ever tasted; all of the flavors meshed together so perfectly. There was a mix of sweet, salty, savory and overall something that I would definitely want to order again. Oh, and those chips that it came with... absolutely delicious; just the right amount of salty and spicy. read more

First time visiting this establishment and I had high expectations based on the tantalizing menu and flyer that was left in my mailbox, making me ignore all my resolutions for the year and engage in a calorie loading feast. Just so happened to be here on a quiet Thursday night, owing to the bad weather outside so no trouble finding a spot. The service was great with friendly staff who were happy to explain the options on the menu. I recommend signing up online to be on the promotion list for a free onion ring tower! I opted for the obi-wan Kobe burger which was very juicy and flavourful. Everything from the the bread to the party itself and the sauce was done beautifully. I also went with a side of coleslaw which to me was a perfect balance of creamy and tangy. Wasn't as sweet as some of the other places. Minus one star for the rather sticky table that we sat at. As a brown man, my forearms were not pleased to have been given a brisk waxing everytime I went in for a bite. Get some lemon pledge and you'll be fine. Will be back again! read more

Arranged a Mother's Day lunch, there was sixteen of us that attended. A big family event. So we started with a deep fried cheese perogies with mayo dip. Nice and hot but nothing special. I ordered a lunch special, hamburger Mary topped with bacon, cheddar cheese, tomato and a fried egg. And a side of onion rings. Burger itself was dry but luckily there was the fried egg, but the wasn't as runny I liked it to be. Also ordered poutine which was mediocre, coz the gravy was too runny. I should have ordered the dinner size coz the lunch size is too small. Basically the bill came up to $100 for 5 people which is decent but disappointed. The service tho was very good and friendly. I'll go back just to try the dinner size. read more

Bottomless fries! First time here. Food was pretty good, and they do things a little different here, but in a good way. I'll be back

I was so hyped up to try The Works after recommendations from my friends .... Perhaps it was a one off but for me I will not be back .... The heat was broken and freezing inside to the point we had to keep our jackets on ... Fair enough it was New Years Eve but I don't think the actual staff was working ... the lady that served us seemed very friendly but maybe a little overwhelmed as she was the only one on the floor ... I ordered a Strip Cheese with white bun and very well done ... when it came the toppings I asked for weren't on it and the burger itself was far from well done ... my friend called the server over and I explained Ed my issue ... the manager then came over and asked what my issue was... I explained the same to him and he begun to say the fresh beef doesn't always cook to a colour that the pink wasn't visible however my friend had also asked for her burger well done and hers was cooked properly. When I showed the manager this he said well what is it you want ... He had absolutely no customer service skills and made me feel like what I was requesting was over the top .... I only asked for well done .... So the next Strip Cheese comes out quite quicker than the first one and the grease was literally pouring off the burger ..... Paying $32 for a combo for me isn't an issue as long as the combo is worth it .... It's not an every day thing for me, however, I still can't believe how we were treated, the fact that they were open when it was actually warmer outside and perhaps having people work who don't really know how to do what needs to be done. So sad this happened .... read more

2 check-in's too many. I don't remember the name of my burger the first time around, but I do remember it had eggplant and pesto in it. The flavour was superb and it is something I would eat again, though ... Without the burger meat. Just like the first time, my second time around the burger meat was really dry and bland. I don't really know what The Works is considered but I assume gourmet burger place? First time I came here, I was so-so about it, so I thought to myself, "Okay, I'll give it a second chance." There will be no third. The Works is a really big disappointment to me and it's extremely bittersweet because they do have some flavour combinations that really do work and are spot on, but the proteins, I don't know how they manage to screw it up all the time. I've never come alone here and even my other table mates have said the burger is just dry but they enjoy the flavour. Really unique place though, down to their serving glasses in measuring cups to the extensive menu with a staff member up and ready to walk you through it as it really can be overwhelming. But whoever said a little customization isn't a good thing right? That is something I do commend them on. There's nothing I want more than this place to succeed, but until they can get their cooking times right on their proteins, I don't see myself coming here in the near future. Maybe if they're still in business 2 or 3 years down the road, I might consider returning and updating my review. read more

There are tons of selection of types of burgers to choose from and sometimes it gets overwhelming. The burgers we tried was fire station and Kevin bacon. Both burgers were thick and juicy and the buns they used was a crusty bun. We each ordered French fries and onion rings. I wasn't a fan of the French fries but the onion rings were tasty. The batter was thick and the onion did not fall apart when you bite into it. I also ordered a small size chocolate milkshake. It didn't have a lot of chocolate flavour in my opinion. The atmosphere was very casual and love the decor of the place especially with their light bulb salt and pepper shakers and their measuring cups as their drinks but make sure you bring a sweater during winter time because it's pretty cold. Gave this a three star because some items can be a bit over price. read more

No problems here, only good. There were over 50 choices of burgers, and even our friendly waitress said you can mix and match the items to create the burger you want. Some of the choices were very creative! I had a poutine burger and loved it! It was a fun place, I would imagine for any age. We loved the silly decor and classic rock in the background. Prices were reasonable. We're coming back! read more

Amazing food and great service. I will definitely be going back! The atmosphere is nice and comfortable and the music is great. Everything is served in a fun and fresh way which is a refreshing change from most restaurants. I'm allergic to preservatives, hormones and antibiotics that are in meat so eating out is a challenge for me. This place is amazing because you can taste the freshness and I can eat everything on the menu! Very filling and delicious for a great price. Some people have complained about raw burgers but friends and I have gone numerous times and this has never happened. Must be a very rare occasion and an easy fix to put back on the grill. The servers are always very friendly and check to make sure everything is good a few times, which I really liked! Overall I highly recommend this place ! Yummy!! read more

Hair in my burger and cold fries. Not a good first impression. Cancelled my order and left. Hope they do better for their next guests...

The Works Gourmet Burger Bistro is just that. What an incredibly creative burger menu! They offer appetizers, salads, poutine and a few sandwiches, but burgers are the star here. We came with friends who'd seen a write-up in the News Advertiser. None of us had been. The decor is construction-themed and is divided into smaller groups of tables so it's not one big room. They're prepared for patio season with 2 large glass garage door style walls which will open to the outside (in cooler weather, the glass can be cold to sit next to as we experienced last night). It was a packed Saturday night. Service was friendly. It did take awhile for our food to arrive. A couple of us tried the shakes, served in Anchor glass measuring cups, almost too thick to drink through the straws. His was chocolate and he thought it was OK. Mine was chocolate banana (minus the banana syrup as I don't like artificial banana), with real banana. It was great! Very filling, though We saw a tower of onion rings with dipping sauces that looked great. Two of us opted for the side dish upgrade to onion rings (+$3.56), one got fries and the other the spicy chips, made fresh. The chips aren't too spicy. You get a bit of a kick at the end. The kid chose a traditional poutine and finished every bite. The burgers with sides range from $10.98 to $13.96. They include everything from the usual toppings (on a Plain Jane) to pear, peanut butter, Brie, tiger shrimp, Montreal smoked meat, and so on. They had a turkey dinner burger on special which featured stuffing and gravy and cranberry sauce. I had the Porkgasm which had field mushrooms, smokey BBQ, cheddar and double-smoked bacon. The burger was well-done, but with the juice from the mushrooms and BBQ sauce, it exploded juice out the sides and up my arm to my elbow at first bite! Expecting it was over, I tried again. My next bite sent juice onto my other arm and onto my table-mate. After a number of apologies and some extra napkins (and a warning to 'bite carefully' from the kid at the table), I nibbled the edges and had no more accidents but remained the subject of teasing sexy jokes throughout the evening. Hubby had the Dead Ringer, loaded with beef brisket, BBQ sauce, jack cheese and an onion ring. He loved it, but the stacked meat on meat was too much for me. Heads up: the burgers are huge. I could barely finish mine and probably shouldn't have. Think I'll split one with hubby next time or skip the shake. Here's how the menu works: Step One, pick your patty: beef, turkey, veggie, Portobello mushroom or chicken breast. Elk is +$3.39. Step Two, topping combo: 60 choices! Sections include Faves, Born to be Wild, Gettin Saucy, Cuz we Like it Hot, Carnivore's Corner, Veg Out, World Tour. Step Three, choose a side: fries, broccoli, celery, cucumbers, weeds, sweet potato fries, spicy chips, mashed, slaw. Step Four, bun: white, wheat, gluten-free. Step Five, add-ons (crispy dills, Kraft Dinner, etc.). Location note: At night, the location in Pickering across from the mall (next to Loblaw's) is a bit hard to see as they're not listed on the sign tower. It's a separate building in the middle of the parking lot and while there are signs, they're not lit well. read more

If you know what you want it is a decent burger. The Tower of Rings with beach sauce is great but if you bring your receipt from your previous trip then they are free. If not $9.99 is a bit steep for a stack of rings. read more

The Works - Burgers Near Me - Pickering, Ontario

Burgers were pretty good and my wife loved the fries. However the service is terrible, as mentioned by a few users here already. We could never flag down the staff as they were always chatting in the back and never refilled our water. Asked for mayonnaise but the waitress went back to chat with the chefs and had to ask again. Would have been OK if they were busy but the place was pretty empty and with 3 waitresses attending to 6 tables or so there should be no excuses. read more

This is one of those places I felt I had to try a few times in order to write a review. With so many choices and options, it seemed unfair to assign a rating with only one visit. I've been now about three times and I'm a fan. The meat itself isn't a five-star patty, but it is juicy and tasty and obviously, it's the toppings and sides that really make the visit. I like the bun they use (thick and a bit crusty). My fave burger is the Tom Green - gouda, bacon, avocado slices and beech house sauce. God, it's delicious. I had previously tried the Nacho Libre, which I didn't think was anything amazing. My husband always gets the ring of fire (an onion ring on top of the burger and filled with hotter than hell sauce), and he loves it. Caution, it's ridiculously spicy. The onion rings are fantastic (I love breaded rings) and the choice of dips is fantastic. I enjoy the beech house (like, what is IN that??? so good), the bacon/garlic aioli, the chipotle dip, sweet and spicy, ok ok, i like them all. Fries are really too salty, I don't even think I will order them again. Doesn't matter though b/c the onion rings are all I need. One last complaint is that in the winter, this place is FREEZING b/c of the garage door-windows that line the restaurant. Bring a big scarf. read more
